Lol even if your beloved flat earth theory were correct. How would this change how you live your life?
Well first off i dont love flat earth theory, i have been a ball believer all my life, i still cant believe its true - but once you really examine both arguments - flat earth explains the reasons, while Nastards and spherechukkers only offer excuses. Plus gravity cant be proved - as well curvature that should be there is not, you can see things 60- 250 miles away that should be hidden behind curve and then you find out how the Copernican Helios model was brought into mainstream - for purely merchant elite commerce reasons who wanted sailors to not fear travelling in ships far away, so in that respect it really served its purpose well.
As to what changes according to which version you believe - i really cant think of any in the present - but i do think that one thing that
might change is that this planet might be able to support human life for longer by figuring out nuclear fission and vehicle levitation which i believe people are not allowed to think is possible and that burning gas as fuel might be a thing of the past and i think this is a very very scary thought to those that tell you what to think.
Another thing to consider is who is Jack Parsons and JPL Labratories:

nice gif, its funny when people say "ah here's a picture of the curve" and dont realize it a trick of lense focal length.
Another good argument i heard recently was that if the earth is spinning at 1000 mph to the east at the equator and sound only travels at 768 mph - how can you talk to people east of you at the equator?
